"America's Got Talent" season 11 winner Grace Vanderwaal recently received a recording contract under Simon Cowell's music company Syco which is handled by Sony Music's Columbia Records.
According to Billboard, Vanderwaal is already appearing in a number of TV shows in the United States following her big win. Just recently, she starred in "The Ellen Show" where she talked about one of her favorite singers Taylor Swift and shared her reaction over Cowell's comparison of the two of them.
After her guesting in "The Ellen Show," Vanderwaal also appeared in "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." In the episode, the "I Don't Know My Name" singer participated in a hilarious game that required her to stuff her mouth with marshmallows while singing a tune that was guessed by host Jimmy Fallon himself.
Vanderwaal also performed her winning song "Clay" which she composed and sang first during the grand finals.
Meanwhile, as the winner of "America's Got Talent" season 11, Vanderwaal will headline a series of shows in Las Vegas from Oct. 27 to 29 at the PH Showroom at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The 12-year-old Suffern native will be joined by her fellow "AGT" contestant Tape Face and more.
In other news, Vanderwaal has been updating her fans with photos post her successful run in "America's Got Talent" via her Instagram account. Just recently, the singer shared that she was traveling back to New York City after spending a few weeks in Los Angeles for the live shows and interviews.
Vanderwaal first gained attention after her audition aired on NBC in May. During that time, she received a golden buzzer from judge Howie Mandel who predicted big things for the young singer. In the quarter finals, Vanderwaal sang an original song that she wrote for her sister called "Beautiful Thing." In the semifinals, she sang "Light Up The Sky."
